After the creation of Formula Le Mans in 2009, ORECA is expanding its presence as a constructor.
Along with the ORECA 01 entered by Hope PoleVision in LMP1, two customer teams have already
confirmed their intentions to run the ORECA 03 in LMP2. In all of these categories in Le Mans Series,
ILMC or ALMS, ORECA is making its customer competition program a priority for 2011.

As in 2010, ORECA will be represented in all events branded with the Le Mans name. Doug Bebb, who
will be in charge of the Competition-Client program, will attend every race American and European
while Jean-Pierre Diot will focus on technical support in Europe. "After what could be considered a
learning year, we want to take the next step forward," explains David Floury. This ambition will mean
different strategies depending on the category LMP2 or Formula Le Mans..

In LMP2...

"In both cases, the goals are different," continues David Floury. "LMP2 is a highly competitive category
where pure performance is obviously taken into account. When we were designing the ORECA 03, we
didnt want to simply make a Formula Le Mans ,,plus. While being both a constructor and a team, we
know what to expect from the operation. We will provide a level of service that will allow teams to take
advantage of our experience and advice in order to get the best result from the car. This includes the
mechanical settings, aero configurations for each track as well as tips for managing pitstops, etc. The
objective is simple: do everything so the ORECA 03 wins!"

In Formula Le Mans...

Two years ago, the FLM09 cars ran in one hour races before moving up to the various Le Mans series in
2010 as a new class (with about 15 cars on track.) This will again be the case in 2011 as well as the
opportunity to participate in the Test Day for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Intercontinental Le Mans
Cup finale in China. "Because Formula Le Mans is a single-make class, we opted for a different
philosophy," adds the technical director. "One of our goals deals with budget, where we dont want to
have a LMP2 ,,minus. While keeping a good driving feel and a performance level between that of LMP2
and GT, we also look at ways to reduce operating costs. We therefore rethought the way we do
business, including our structure with Carl Haas, the U.S. distributor. We can now announce a price
freeze on parts, even a reduction in some cases. Meanwhile, we continue our work on reliability of the
FLM, with evolutions on the way. Finally, we will improve the service provided to the teams, notably in
the area of technical documentation. The goal is to strengthen our support to the teams, both on and off
the track. We will help the teams with PR needs in order to promote their projects. During our end of
season meetings, the feedback was positive. This encourages us to move forward! "

Over the course of the last few weeks, the Competition-Client program has been reorganized. A four
person team will be under the responsibility of Doug Bebb. Last year, he concentrated on the LMPC (Le
Mans Prototype Challenge) in American Le Mans Series while managing the team service and their
relationship with the organizers. Now even more integrated with ORECA, Doug will supervise LMP2 and
Formula Le Mans customer teams, both in the United States and in Europe. Having worked with
Williams F1 in single-seaters, and Toyota and MG in sportscars, Doug will continue to bring his expertise
to ORECA. His career had already crossed paths with ORECA, notably during the "Viper" years..
